We’re more excited than ever about the good work we're privileged to do with and for nonprofits in our community, and - as always - we hope to share news with you in a timely manner. To better achieve this goal, we've made some key changes to our communications. First, you will notice a new newsletter format in this issue. This redesign will help you more easily navigate to the resources we have available on our website. We are also changing the frequency of the newsletter. Instead of receiving it quarterly, you will now receive it twice a year - when we have the most to share about upcoming opportunities and resources for local nonprofits.

For all other times, we have another resource for you, which is our second big change ... We've launched a Community Impact News blog on our website, which you can visit at any time to see the latest news from the Community Foundation! You can click the link below this article to see what's already there. Our goal is to update it whenever information useful to our nonprofit partners becomes available. If you have questions or if you see something that doesn’t look current, please let us know. We want the content to be relevant and helpful to YOU when you need it!
